Rajesh Lifespaces White City Review

Overview

Whem Rajesh Lifespace launched White city, they took up the biggest hoarding in Mumbai to advertise the launch Needless to say, the project received sufficient attention from the target group.  At the same time with the decent brand name that Rajesh commands in the market, the project looked like a sure shot winner. Located in Kandivali east, white city boasts of some of the best amenities available in suburban region. Let's do quick fact check of the project

Location

White city is located in Kandivali east very close to the national park. The location will ensure that the project gets very good views and is close to nature. Lokandwala’s project is also located very close to it. There is no problem of social infrastructure as well. The only issue is that the distance from western express highway is relative more. At the same time, it's quite far suburban rail network. In addition, the project is very close slums as well.

Plans

If we look at the project layout we can see project buildings laid out in a curvature with the clubhouse in the middle. The rest of the amenities are relatively well spaced out. With the entrance of the project on Akruili Road, the buildings on east side of the plot will be closer to the national park. The layout looks well- spaced out with sufficient spacing between the buildings.

Floor Plans

White city offers the whole gamut of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments

If we look at the typical floor plan of 1 bedroom apartment, we can see that the entrance is in 3 and half feed wide lobby. The bedroom is a bit smaller to our liking. Although, the size of kitchen and toilets are sufficient and second toilet is a plus, living and dying areas are quite small

Coming to the 2 BHK plan, although the master bedroom is sufficient the second bedroom size is small again. The same issue which is there with one bedroom floor plan that is of kitchen right next to the entrance which will ensure lack of privacy for residents exists here too. 

The three bedroom plan is less efficient as compared to the previous two with good amount of space wasted in entrance lobby. Again, the master bedroom size is sufficient but is seriously lacking in others. Overall, White city boasts of decent floor plans which could have been more efficient and spacious.

What do we like

• Location
• Brand name of Rajesh Life spaces
• Decent masterplan
• Social Infrastructure around the project

What we dont like

• Slums around the project
• Distance from WEH and Railway Stations
• Relatively small carpet areas

Final verdict

It is a decent project from a reputed developer and can surely be considered as an option if you are more focused on amenities and can do away with relatively smaller bedrooms in the apartments.
